Poly pipe irrigation fittings refer to various fittings and accessories in a Pipe irrigation system made of polyethylene (PE) material. These fittings are used to connect and secure PE irrigation pipes, ensuring the integrity and functionality of the system. Due to its unique advantages, such as corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties and high durability, polyethylene material is widely used in building water supply, building drainage, buried drainage pipes, building heating, gas pipes, electrical and telecommunications protection bushings, industrial pipes, agricultural pipes and other fields, especially farmland irrigation systems.
Types
A wide variety of Poly pipe irrigation fittings, including but not limited to various connectors, valves, joints, flanges, pressure-reducing valves, etc., together form a complete irrigation system. These accessories are designed and manufactured in accordance with certain industry standards to ensure the safety and reliability of the system. For example, the industry standard for PE field irrigation pipes stipulates that the pipes should be able to withstand a certain pressure, and usually choose PE resins with large molecular weight and good mechanical properties, such as HDPE resins, to meet the special needs of irrigation systems.
The classification of polyethylene materials is also quite rich. According to the international unified standards, polyethylene materials are divided into different grades, such as PE32, PE40, PE63, PE80, and PE100, each grade has its specific application scenarios and performance requirements. This material classification ensures that polyethylene irrigation pipe fittings can adapt to various complex and changing use environments, including agricultural uses such as farmland irrigation.
How do you choose the right Poly pipe irrigation fittings?
1. pipe diameter and wall thickness : Select the appropriate pipe diameter and wall thickness according to irrigation needs to ensure the stability of water flow and pressure. The choice of pipe diameter and wall thickness directly affects the service life and flow of pipe fittings, and the appropriate size needs to be selected according to the actual demand .
2. pressure and corrosion resistance : polyethylene pipe fittings need to withstand high water pressure and corrosion, so it is necessary to choose pipelines with good pressure and corrosion resistance. You can check the pipeline manufacturer, quality certification, and other information, so as to judge the performance of the pipeline .
3. Connection method: The connection method of Poly pipe irrigation fittings should be simple easy to understand, and convenient for workers to operate. Common connection methods include electric fusion connection and hot fusion butt joint. Choose the appropriate connection method according to the pipe diameter.
4. Wear resistance: Consider the wear resistance of the pipe, especially in occasions where it is frequently moved or rubbed. Pipe fittings with good wear resistance can reduce the frequency of damage and repair.
5. Environmental adaptability: If the irrigation pipe is exposed to sunlight for a long time, pipe fittings materials that can resist UV aging should be selected to extend the service life.
6. Consider the cost: Although the cost of polyethylene pipe fittings is relatively low, the cost-effectiveness of long-term use, including purchase cost, installation cost and maintenance cost, should still be considered when choosing.
